Pluto and Dusty are two 6-month-old guinea pigs with gentle hearts and curious souls. Right now, the world still feels a little big to them, so they can be quite nervous and shy when meeting new people. Sudden movements and loud noises aren’t their favorite—but with time, consistency, and kindness, they’re learning that humans can be pretty great.
These two will do best in a calm, patient home with someone who understands that love doesn’t always happen overnight. They’re not the type to rush into cuddles, but for the right person, earning their trust will be incredibly rewarding. Small moments—like relaxed wheeks at feeding time or brave little steps toward you—are big victories for Pluto and Dusty.
They’re looking for an adopter who’s willing to go at their pace, let them settle in, and show them that they’re safe. With patience and gentle care, these shy boys have so much potential to blossom into confident, happy companions.
If you believe in slow bonds, quiet wins, and falling in love gradually, Pluto and Dusty might just be your perfect match.
***NOTE*** Please remember that animals are coming back from foster care to the centres for their meet and greets. They will be experiencing a new environment and meeting new people, which means they may not exhibit the same behaviours they did in their foster videos or while in foster care.
If you are viewing this animal through 24Petconnect by PetPlace or Adopt-a-pet, please visit our website https://kwsphumane.ca/adopt/process to submit an application. Any applications submitted outside of www.kwsphumane.ca may not be received.

Come into the Centre and if you see a pet you like, you are able to do a "Meet and Greet" with that pet. Spend some time in alone with the pet or take a dog out for a short walk. If you are still interested in adopting the pet you can meet with one of our Adoption Counsellors who will have you fill out and application and will ask you some questions about the environment in which you live. If you seem like a wonderful match and your envirnoment meets the needs of the pet then your application should be approved!
